Sexting MP cleared by Qld parliament

Sexting Queensland MP Peter Dowling has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Queensland Parliament.

Parliamentary Clerk Neil Laurie says his investigation into the Redlands MP found nothing to support claims that he misused travel entitlements, facilities or equipment.

However, in a letter to Premier Campbell Newman, Mr Laurie stresses that his finding is not a moral judgment on Mr Dowling's actions.

"I wish to stress that my consideration of all the matters contained in the complaint and the associated issue ... did not involve any moral consideration," the letter, released on Christmas Eve, read.

Mr Dowling gained notoriety after his mistress wrote to parliament in August to reveal their affair.

She said the pair had sex in his parliamentary office and he texted her a photo of his penis in a glass of red wine.

The mistress also alleged that Mr Dowling took advantage of parliamentary travel trips to meet her in locations including Perth and New Zealand.
